48 hours near the frontline with Ukraine’s pirate paramedics

In Ukraine, President Zelenskyy has hit out at western allies for stalling the supply of long-range weapons.

The need for weapons is now the most urgent it has been since the start of the full scale invasion.

Russia is pushing hard on the eastern front, and they’re advancing; even while reportedly losing more than a 1000 soldiers a day.

In the past days Russians have taken the Ukrainian stronghold of Vuhledar and are pushing closer towards the strategically important city of Pokrovsk.

Our team has spent 48 hours on the frontline just south of there near Kurakhove, where Russia is pounding Ukrainian forces day and night with artillery, glide bombs and drone strikes.

We bring you the story of the medical corp of the DaVinci Wolves battalion – and be warned this report contains some highly graphic scenes of injured soldiers and their treatment.
